Music in planes?

Is it allowed to listen to music while at the commands of an aircraft?
Is so, do you?

What else do you do during long flights once auto-pilot is engaged? Do
you just take time to watch the landscapes?

Solo flight is THE best place to listen to good music. I have cd
compilations that I have put together for just that purpose.
The new Lightspeed headsets are a great help- the CD player plugs right into
the battery box. You get great sound that will automatically cut out when
your com frequency receives.

Sorry... coming into this thread late.

I'd love to listen to music while I fly, but
it would have to be a system where the readio
cuts out the music. Maybe this was covered,
but I couldn't find a straight answer:

I am a renter, and all my club's planes have
built-in intercoms without an audio input.

I've heard that some headsets have music inputs,
but I have two nice headsets (DC H10.13XL and
DRE6000enr) and don't want to buy another.

Any idea how to do this? Is there a box I can
plug in between my headset and the jacks?

thanks,

Approved panel mount music systems all have the auto-mute feature. It's
nice, but we usually disable it and choose what PS Engineering calls
"karaoke mode" instead, which keeps the music at a low enough level to hear
radio calls without cutting in and out. Otherwise the danged music cuts out
every time someone smacks their lips in the microphone, which will quickly
drive you batty.

Others can say for sure, but I believe there is a product called "The Muse"
that does precisely what you are looking for...

Any portable intercom with an input jack would work.

Dave,
PS Engineering makes a device called "The Muse". It plugs between the
headphone jacks and the headset. Has soft mute built in. Here is a link to
a review. I have one and it works pretty good.

Dave,

I am a renter, and all my club's planes have
built-in intercoms without an audio input.

They most likely have it, but the connector wasn't installed. Try
complaining.

The PS Engineering Muse does what you want.

Isn't that what the ADF is for? ;-)

Ah, yes, commercial AM radio, that bastion of
musical purity. Really, my goals were something
higher. I got an iPod for Christmas, and well,
it's pretty amazing. I've got my entire CD collection
on that puppy and when it's set on random play,
it's like my own private commercial-free radio
station.

It looks like others have pointed out that the
toy I'm looking to add to my flight back is
called The Muse. I'll check it out.

Thanks, all!

I keep an eye out for traffic, and listen to the radio for calls.
sometimes I will have the ADF on to listen to whatever I can pick up
